I think this may be it. It's been in the low 30s/high 20s for a while now (rather strange in itself). The Sun hits that area first thing in the AM, even under the tank shroud, those crimps are likely getting a workout.

no bend near the connector. I "upgraded" to stainless as well, but I'm not sure it's worth it. Protects from damage to the actual hose, but they don't seem actually to last any longer. I've never cut one open, but I guess that's the point. I think it's still rubber on the inside, just a braided cover for protection. nothing to do with life expectancy... I may be wrong, but just thinking out loud.
